A record meeting of 13 races and one has to ask why; how it will increase betting turnover across the board for the week is anyone's guess. But there are 13 winners to be found and with the rail out between seven and five metres it should be a frontrunners’ day (well, at least horses which can get to the famous Sunshine Coast crown on the home straight first). The weather forecast is again for storms and some showers, so the track should be on the soft side.

GOLDEN MINESHAFT (NEXT BEST BET) is a class mare and with the 3kgs claim here looks very well placed. She raced in much better company last campaign and won a good standard Saturday race here before a spell. Her first-up record is very strong and it would surprise if she isn't in the finish.

DODGE THE PRESS (BEST BET) has been racing very well and does like this track. Rising star apprentice Michael Murphy will claim three kilos and he is perfectly drawn to lead or sit just behind the pace. This race is weak and he does look hard to beat. He is dual accepted but at this stage will run in this race.

A truly awful race made even harder by the fact SHELTER LADY has accepted in two races and at this stage there is no indication which one she will run in. Obviously a top chance if runs here.

OPINIONATED has finally struck form and won two of her past three starts. This looks to be her race.

OCEANTES would drive anyone to drink but did make up good ground last start while DAM WONDERFUL will find this much easier than last start.
SHE'S A KICKER is not that bad around the provincials and is a recent country track winner.

D'HARMONY is a nice horse in the making and a good winner last time. APOLLO HOPE looks well placed here with a 3kgs claim while MONACO PLAYBOY was solid first-up and has run good races in better company.

CALL ME RUSTY would be best on a wet track and FIVE SPICES shows promise and big priced winner second up earlier in his career.
